Strategies for Survival in the New Environmental Era

Abstract

Preservation of the environment has become an issue of primary importance worldwide; hence, American industry can expect a future in which public and private sector insistence on environmentally safe products--already high--will rise steadily and increasingly determine economic viability. This report focuses on the causes and effects of air pollution and the requirements of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. To survive in today's environmentally sensitive atmosphere, companies must recognize and accept that the environment has become deeply entrenched as one of the central concerns of the American consumer. Moreover, to be successful, companies must be willing to make substantial organizational and operational changes. Several strategies for survival are suggested. Although the task will not be easy, the companies that succeed will find themselves among the most respected and profitable in the world.
